Name Lookup by Phone Number

When you have a phone number but not the name associated with it, you’ll want to do a search of name lookup by phone number. How do you do this? It all depends on whether or not the number is a land line number or a cell number. With a land line number, you can go to the public library and do a name look up by phone number search by getting a hold of a reverse phone number book. It lists the numbers in numerical order and the name and address are given secondarily. You can get the book through the phone company, too, and search of name lookup by phone number through their service.

Alternatively, you can do a name lookup by phone number search much easier if you have access to a computer and the internet. In such cases, you can look up any land line number for free and get back the name and address of the individual who owns that number. You can do a name lookup by phone number search for any number throughout the country because all of the different phone companies have pooled their resources and databases to give you the opportunity to do a name lookup by phone number request regardless of the location of the person who owns the number.

If the number is a cell phone number, your job gets a little bit more expensive and perhaps a bit harder. They have internet sites that offer name lookup by phone number for cell phones. The databases from several cell phone companies is pooled together to give you the best opportunity to find the person who owns the number. Occasionally, if there is an esoteric phone company, it won’t be included in the database pool but, in general, you can do a name lookup by phone number for just about any cell phone.

The cost of looking up just one cell phone number is about $10 but most online websites will tell you first if a match has been made before you get your answer. They will also offer you an opportunity to subscribe to their website for about a year at a cost of around $30 to $40. This gives you unlimited access to name lookup by phone number for the time of your subscription.  This would make sense if you plan to look up a lot of cell phone numbers but most people would look up just one and be done with it.

The only times you cannot do a name lookup by phone number are when the phone number is unlisted and when the phone number is a no contract cell phone number. If the number is unlisted, you can’t find the owner of the phone number because the person has paid the phone company to keep the phone number private.

In cases where the cell phone is a no contract cell phone, the individual buys the phone and number anonymously and feeds minutes into the cell phone using pre-paid cards. These numbers are virtually untraceable.
